Tour de l’île de Montréal Plus de 18 000 cyclistes sont au rendez-vous

Plus de 18 000 cyclistes défilent dans les rues de Montréal dimanche, à l’occasion de la 39e édition du traditionnel Tour de l’île.

Plus de 18 000 cyclistes défilent dans les rues de Montréal dimanche, à l’occasion de la 39 e  édition du traditionnel Tour de l’île.

tour de l'ile photos

Le départ a été donné vers 9 h 30 sur l’avenue du Parc, au coin de l’avenue du Mont-Royal.

Le signal donné, des participants de tous les âges ont enfourché leurs montures avant de s’élancer dans les rues désertes.

Le parcours de 50 kilomètres traversera le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie, Outremont, Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Westmount, Le Sud-Ouest, Lachine, Verdun et Ville-Marie.

À la tête du peloton, Josée Lafrenière attend le coup d’envoi avec sa fille. Le duo est loin d’être à sa première participation à la grande messe du vélo.

« Ça fait au moins 25 ans que je participe », partage-t-elle avec fierté. Ce qui a le plus changé à travers toutes ces années ? « Il y a beaucoup plus de monde », répond-elle.

Elle l’a particulièrement remarqué au Tour la nuit, qui a attiré cette année pas moins de 17 000 cyclistes. « Ça nous a pris 1 h 30 partir ! », s’exclame M me  Lafrenière.

Leurs casques ornementés de fleurs artificielles, Larian Hernandez et Andrea Estacio patientent elles aussi près de la ligne de départ.

Originaires du Venezuela, les deux amies sont arrivées à Montréal il y a huit ans. « On ne faisait pas de vélo avant d’arriver ici », raconte M me  Hernandez.

Pour elles, l’évènement est l’occasion de profiter de la métropole en toute sécurité. « C’est l’opportunité de s’approprier la ville », souligne-t-elle.

« C’est important de faire un évènement qui est accessible pour tous les âges, mais aussi pour tous les niveaux », témoigne le directeur général de Vélo Québec, Jean-François Rheault.

Cette année, les participants ont le choix entre quatre parcours de 28 km, 50 km, 68 km et 100 km. Les enfants sont aussi présents en grand nombre – environ 20 % des participants ont moins de 12 ans.

« Il y a des gens pour qui c’est la première fois qu’ils vont rouler en ville ou qu’ils vont rouler une aussi longue distance », souligne M. Rheault.

Aujourd’hui, l’évènement jouit d’une réputation qui dépasse les frontières. « J’ai parlé à des gens venus de Rhode Island, de Pittsburgh, de Boston… C’est un évènement unique en Amérique du Nord », se réjouit-il.

Porte-parole pour une deuxième année consécutive, Julie Ringuette raconte avoir repris son rôle avec enthousiasme. « J’ai dit : si vous me rappelez par l’année prochaine, je vais bouder ! », rigole la comédienne.

C’est qu’elle a tout aimé de sa première expérience, raconte-t-elle. « C’est familial, sécuritaire. Les gens sortent sur leur balcon, mettent de la musique, nous encouragent. Il y a tellement d’ambiance ! », énumère-t-elle.

Julie Ringuette, porte-parole

Le message qu’elle souhaite envoyer ? « Que les gens sachent que c’est accessible pour toutes les tranches d’âge », répond-elle.

Plus loin, Paul Deer prend la pause devant la caméra d’une autre participante. Ici, sa bicyclette à grande roue est une attraction. « La photo est gratuite ! », lance-t-il.

Plus que l’exercice physique, c’est l’occasion de faire connaître l’histoire du vélo au grand public qui l’amène ici chaque année.

« Je me promène et je réponds aux questions », raconte l’homme, vêtu d’un costume d’époque.

Il n’est pas le seul à s’être déguisé pour l’occasion. Certains en font même une tradition.

Accoté sur sa monture, Benoit Durant passe difficilement inaperçu dans son habit rouge du père Noël. « Chaque année, j’ai un costume différent. Ça met un sourire sur le visage des gens », explique-t-il.

Dans la vie quotidienne, l’homme réalise la plupart de ses déplacements à vélo. Se sent-il en sécurité dans les rues de Montréal ?

« C’est sur qu’il y a des axes plus compliqués. Nord-sud, c’est facile. Est-ouest, c’est plus compliqué. Je pense qu’il reste des choses à améliorer, mais l’effort est là », répond-il.

Malgré les entraves, plusieurs grandes artères demeurent ouvertes à la circulation, comme la rue Sherbrooke, le tunnel Ville-Marie et le secteur au nord de Jean-Talon.

La Ville de Montréal recommande aux automobilistes d’éviter le pont Victoria.

Roads to close for Tour la Nuit and Tour de l'Ile this weekend in Montreal

Cyclists will be in the spotlight and on the streets in Montreal this weekend.

Thousands of them will be taking part in the Tour la Nuit, on Friday, and the Tour de l'Ile, on Sunday, to officially launch the cycling season. Motorists, meanwhile, will have to plan their journeys in the north of the city.

"The Festival Go Vélo is really a celebration where cycling takes centre stage," says Jean-François Rheault, President and CEO of Vélo Québec, which organizes the festival.

The Tour la Nuit is "really a party," added Rheault.

The event starts at 8 p.m. on Friday. Cyclists will be invited to pedal 24 kilometres through streets closed to traffic for the occasion, dressed in their best luminous accessories.

"There's a feeling of happiness to be able to ride through the city without interacting with cars. There's a real feeling of safety and freedom. There's a very peaceful side to the idea of just being able to discover the city," said Rheault.

The Tour la Nuit route will start in Maisonneuve Park at the corner of Rosemont Boulevard. Cyclists will pass through the boroughs of Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie, Saint-Michel, Montréal-Nord and Saint-Léonard.

The Festival Go Vélo used to start at Parc La Fontaine in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough.

tour de l'ile photos

The organization decided to move the event this year because of the heavy traffic on the approaches to the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, caused by work on the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel.

Vélo Québec expects around 20,000 people to take part in the Tour la Nuit, and around 18,000 in the Tour de l'Ile.

The 38th Tour de l'Ile de Montréal will be held on Sunday June 4. The emblematic event offers cyclists a 47-kilometre ride through the streets of the city, which will be inaccessible to motorists. The event will also start in Maisonneuve Park at 9:15 a.m.

tour de l'ile photos

Tour de l'Ile participants will pass through seven Montreal boroughs: Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie, Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Montréal-Nord, Rivières-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles, Anjou and Saint-Léonard.

For the more athletic, alternative routes of 53, 75 or 99 kilometres will be available. However, these routes will include streets open to motorized traffic. There will be no official start for these "discovery" routes, and cyclists will set off at their own pace from 7 a.m.

"It's a party, yes, but it allows people to experience the city from a different point of view, and sometimes to surpass themselves," said the Vélo Québec president.

Both activities will also end in Maisonneuve Park. DJs, inflatable games and other activities will entertain young and old alike.

"There will be a return of the Ferris wheel, which we left out during the pandemic. It's really going to be a festive site," said Rheault.

Cyclists wishing to take part in these events can still register on the Vélo Québec website or complete their registration on the day. Children aged 12 and under can take part in the event free of charge.

RESTRICTIONS FOR MOTORISTS

Motorists will need to plan their journeys if they intend to travel in the north of the island of Montreal on Friday evening or Sunday.

Vélo Québec invites the public to consult the map of the cyclists' route, or to use the Waze application, where the cyclists' route will be indicated.

During both events, Autoroute 40 and Sherbrooke Street will be open to traffic, as will Saint-Michel Boulevard, Autoroute 25 and Autoroute 15.

"There really are options for getting around, you just have to be a little better prepared," said Rheault.

How Sepp Kuss Became Pro Cycling’s Chillest Champion

A relaxed, charming kid from Durango may make Americans fall in love with the Tour de France again

Heading out the door? Read this article on the Outside app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

Sepp Kuss appears at the door wearing a pair of fuzzy slippers and a warm grin. “Did you find the place OK?” he asks, leading me inside. “How was your drive down?”

The smell of freshly brewed coffee fills the hallway as we walk past paintings of wooded mountains and snowy landscapes. It’s as if we’ve entered a ski chalet in this tucked-away neighborhood of Durango, Colorado , and not the home of Kuss’s parents, Sabina and Dolph. But they’re here, too, lounging in comfy chairs, waiting to watch their son be interviewed about an incredible feat of athleticism and willpower. His historic victory at the 2023 Vuelta a España last September, when Sepp became just the fourth U.S. rider to officially win one of cycling’s three-week grand tours, is what we’re set to discuss. I’ve driven six hours from Denver to Durango to talk about the Vuelta, and also to attend a festival and parade in Sepp’s honor. But right now the Kuss family just want to know if I’d like a cup of joe and maybe some breakfast.

“I tell you, we were not even low-level fans of cycling before all of this,” Dolph says. “We’ve had to learn everything.”

Were it not for his son’s big victory, I would gladly spend half my time interviewing Dolph. At 93, he’s a living connection to the primordial days of the American ski industry, and he’s partly responsible for transforming Durango into a mecca for outdoor sports. The list of his skiing accomplishments could fill its own story, so here are the CliffsNotes. He built nordic centers across Colorado and helped develop the local ski area, Purgatory Resort, in the mid-1960s. He coached the U.S. Nordic team at the 1964 and 1972 Olympics and taught multiple generations of skiers to love the sport.

But even Dolph, with his vast experience coaching hundreds of athletes, seems dumbfounded by his son’s achievement. “I used to think some of my cross-country racers were workhorses, but he puts them all to shame,” Dolph says. “I admire Sepp so much for his physical achievements, which I think are historic and, to be honest, mind-boggling.”

They are. In 2023, Sepp completed all three grand tours: the Giro d’Italia, the Tour de France, and the Vuelta—that’s 6,225 grueling miles of bike racing. Few cyclists ever tackle all three events in a season, and those who do are usually too exhausted to win anything. Sepp served as the key helper, or domestique, for Jumbo-Visma teammate Primoz Roglic when Roglic won the 2023 Giro in May. Then, in July, he shepherded another teammate, Jonas Vingegaard, to a second straight Tour de France win. And, finally, Sepp won the Vuelta in September.

“And he looked like he was having a lot of fun the whole time,” Sabina, 72, says. “Sepp wouldn’t do something like that if he wasn’t having fun.”

The conversation flows as Sabina and Dolph share memories. “I was still breastfeeding him when we’d go skiing,” Sabina says. “He was the easiest kid in the world to raise.” Six-year-old Sepp strummed a guitar and performed Elvis tunes. In middle school, he started his own small business importing bike parts and selling them on eBay.

Dolph smiles and Sabina looks moved. Soon the midmorning sun beams through the windows, and it’s time to get down to the serious stuff, to address the Vuelta and a bizarre drama. A bitter inter-squad rivalry at Jumbo-Visma nearly tore the team apart in the final few stages. Sepp found himself in a wholly unprecedented situation: a domestique leading the race and having to fend off his two team leaders, Roglic and Vingegaard. Media intrigue ratcheted up the pressure for one of the three to back down. Sepp refused. He fought on and chased after his teammates on the steepest mountains, and in doing so won the affection of cycling fans across the world.

“I still feel confident that if we went all-in, head-to-head, the three of us together, I would still win the Vuelta,” Sepp says. Was he the strongest rider? “Given all the components of the race, yes,” he answers.

There are different types of strength, of course, and perhaps Sepp did not have the most powerful legs. But he had the mental fortitude and interpersonal skills to navigate what was essentially a hostile workplace. He could have rolled over—most riders would have—but something compelled him to stand his ground against his higher-profile teammates. Where did this courage come from? I’m willing to bet that the answer can be found somewhere here in Durango.

Photos of young Sepp Kuss from Durango Devo.

During his Vuelta victory, Kuss grabbed almost as much attention for his easygoing attitude as for his success. After his first stage win, he grabbed the ceremonial magnum of champagne and gulped down mouthfuls of it , then added an exclamation point in the form of a massive belch. Throughout the race, he smiled, hugged his competitors and teammates, and seemed to bask in every moment of the event—even when controversy enveloped him.

The affection he showed for his competition wasn’t lost on riders from previous generations. Lance Armstrong caused a stir earlier this year when he poked fun at how the current crop of cyclists treat rivals. “These guys hammer each other, and some guy will lose,” Armstrong said in a podcast interview in March. “The guy who wins is waiting at the finish line—they’re fucking hugging it out!”

A fixation on toughness and independence permeated the sport for decades. I frequently encountered it when I was the editor of the cycling magazine VeloNews , and heard it invoked to explain why American cyclists repeatedly failed at Grand Tour racing in the years after Armstrong and his cohort left the sport.

In 2008 and 2009, I traveled to Belgium and the Netherlands to report on American attempts to discover the next Armstrong . Each year USA Cycling, bike racing’s governing body, would ship a handful of American youngsters to a tiny town in western Belgium called Izegem, where they competed in development races. The events were breakneck and hyper-aggressive, and the living conditions dreary. The program did produce some pros, but no American was able to topple the Europeans at grand tours.

“I still feel confident that if we went all-in, head-to-head, the three of us together, I would still win the Vuelta.” —Sepp Kuss on his inter-squad battle with Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic

Everyone I spoke to said that they knew why. It was the way Americans trained, or their diet. They were coddled and spoiled. Across Europe, cycling often attracts hard-nosed kids from the working classes, while in the U.S. cycling is a sport for the wealthy. Maybe the new generation were just too soft. According to this argument, Armstrong, Floyd Landis, and even three-time Tour winner Greg LeMond had all overcome painful personal trauma in their respective pasts, giving them preternatural abilities to out-suffer their rivals. LeMond had nearly died in a hunting accident, Armstrong grew up without a father figure, and Landis had endured a rigid Mennonite upbringing. No American kid from a normal middle-class background was gritty enough, the argument concluded.

Of course, this theory was eventually put to rest when Armstrong and Landis copped to doping, an admission that forced pro cycling to confront the rampant PED use that unfortunately defined competition in the nineties and aughts.

After my trips to Europe, I came away with my own answer to America’s shortcomings at grand tours, and it had little to do with toughness or trauma. I saw how thousands of Belgian and Dutch teenagers raced, and how their critical mass supported well-funded club teams, coaching academies, and dozens if not hundreds of junior races. Similar scenes existed across Europe. American youth cycling was comparatively tiny, and the kids who were drawn to it faced a litany of financial and social hurdles.

Brent Bookwalter, a Tour de France veteran who turned professional in 2005, recalls how American cyclists were perceived at home back then. “I was the weirdo in high school who stopped playing football so that I could race bikes,” he says.

And then something amazing happened: across the U.S., thousands of kids started racing bicycles . In 2009, a California cycling group for kids, the NorCal League, created NICA, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, and began setting up competitive mountain-biking programs for high schoolers across the country . Americans still weren’t winning grand tours—the last to do so was Chris Horner at the 2013 Vuelta—but more were cycling. By 2019, NICA’s participation reached nearly 23,000 across 30 state leagues. And unlike European cycling leagues, NICA preached fun over winning.

Youth cycling organizations that were separate from NICA also formed. In Durango, one program began in 2006. Called Durango Devo , the group was founded by local cyclists Chad Cheeney and Sarah Tescher, who led kids on mountain biking excursions along the town’s famed trail system. The purpose of Durango Devo was to create a lifelong love of cycling, not to groom superstar athletes.

But kids and their parents loved it. As the group swelled, Cheeney, a former racer at Durango-based Fort Lewis College, saw an opportunity to organize structured competitions.

“I always loved the team aspect of sports, but I never saw bike teams practicing together,” Cheeney says. “We created the idea of this team season where there are weekly practices and one race a month, just like high school sports.”

Still, Cheeney stressed the importance of fun to his competitors, even as more kids joined the program. Today, hundreds of kids now wear the Durango Devo team jersey in Durango. The program’s ethos has stayed the same since 2006. Cycling is a glorious hobby, an excuse to race your buddies, and not a life-or-death endeavor. During Durango Devo’s inaugural season, Cheeney welcomed 12-year-old Sepp Kuss. He was skinny and lacked the speed of his peers, but he was an immediate hit with the team.

“Sepp was extremely goofy,” Cheeney says. “He was always joking around and scarfing down food in this braggadocious way.”

Kuss continued with Durango Devo through junior high and into high school. The program swelled, and some of the kids matured into national-level racers, including future Olympic mountain bikers Christopher Blevins and Howard Grotts. Kuss, meanwhile, seemed to enjoy his daylong training rides even more than racing. As he passed through puberty, his body strengthened and his natural talent became apparent. Eventually, Cheeney placed Kuss on the Sweet Elite squad—a team of top junior riders—and took him to the biggest races. At a 2012 event in Fruita, Colorado, 16-year-old Kuss jumped into the pro category and won.

“We had stayed up late the night before doing wheelies in the parking lot,” Cheeney says. “The next day he wakes up and drops everyone, and it’s like, Whoa—Sepp has a motor.”

As he matured into an aspiring pro, Kuss stood out for other reasons. Grotts, who’d graduated from the program and begun racing professionally, says that Kuss dealt with failure differently from his peers. “I never saw him get fazed,” Grotts says. “Not getting bogged down when things don’t work out—that’s a lot easier said than done in cycling.”

Image

I first met Kuss in the winter of 2016, when he was the 22-year-old breakout star on the U.S. road-racing scene. He’d started racing just a year earlier, after winning three collegiate mountain biking national titles for the University of Colorado Boulder. Kuss began the 2016 season as an unknown, riding on an amateur team sponsored by a Harley-Davidson dealership. After winning the Oak Glen stage of the Redlands Bicycle Classic —one of the hardest climbs in North American racing—he signed his first professional contract with the Rally Pro Cycling team. Rally was the top squad in the domestic scene; its riders were regularly invited to the Amgen Tour of California and other international races.

I interviewed Kuss at Rally’s winter training camp in Colorado and marveled at how different he seemed from other pro road cyclists. Road racing rewards maniacal attention to diet and other training details, and it can also breed big egos and deep insecurities. Prickly attitudes abound, as do type A personalities and anxiety problems. But Kuss was utterly laid-back. He seemed to place no pressure on himself. To him bike racing appeared to be like a fun hobby, not a career path. By then others in the domestic cycling scene had noticed his unorthodox attitude, too.

“He was obviously super competitive, but it didn’t override his personality like it did with a lot of past American roadies,” says Marc Gullickson, the former mountain-biking coordinator for USA Cycling. “People loved him because he was so humble compared with the Armstrongs and Horners of the sport.”

Road cycling has a way of pummeling the joy out of budding pros with cutthroat gamesmanship and painful crashes, and I assumed Kuss would eventually lose his carefree spirit. But a year later VeloNews published a cover story on him , and I was able to spend more time in his presence . By then he’d earned a spot in pro cycling’s big leagues, the WorldTour, with Dutch squad LottoNL-Jumbo (which would eventually become Jumbo-Visma, now Visma–Lease a Bike). While Kuss was excited to earn a shot at the Tour de France, he admitted that donning a race jersey for a living still felt temporary.

“I was pretty indifferent about a career in cycling,” he says. “It wasn’t a do-or-die thing. If it didn’t work out, then it would just be one door of my life closing. I knew I’d still love riding my bike, even if a career doing it didn’t come to fruition.”

“He was obviously super competitive but it didn’t override his personality like it did with a lot of past American roadies. People loved him because he was so humble compared with the Armstrongs and Horners of the sport.” —Marc Gullickson, former mountain biking coordinator for USA Cycling

This was not an act. One of his roommates at the time, Charlie Howard, who lived with Kuss during and after college, told me that Kuss intentionally separated his lives as an athlete and a student. He studied hard, partied harder, and never bragged about his success. What’s more, the traditional cyclist diet didn’t apply. “Sepp and I were frequent visitors to the Taco Bell drive-through at 2 A.M.,” Howard says.

Kuss also had emotional maturity beyond his years. In Boulder, he lived with three guys in a small house, and at times the pressures of school and social life led to tension. The roommates turned to Kuss to arbitrate their quarrels because he didn’t seem to get angry.

“He never engaged with our drama,” Howard says. “He was the most composed person.”

Kuss left Boulder for Spain in 2018 and never looked back. In the ensuing years, he blossomed into one of the best climbers in the peloton and a valuable domestique for the Dutch team. In 2022, he married a Spanish cyclist named Noemi Ferré, and the two settled in Andorra. Those who know him best say that his grounded attitude toward life and cycling never changed.

“He finds ways to see the positive in all situations,” says Richard Plugge, the team manager for Visma–Lease a Bike. “He still appears to ride for fun.”

“I had met a lot of cyclists, and they were so cocky. Sepp was very humble,” Ferré told me. “Sepp could win the Tour ten times and he’d be the same person.”

When I asked Ferré about the origins of her husband’s levelheaded attitude, she pointed to Dolph and Sabina’s constant love and support. When I asked them, they mentioned Cheeney and Durango Devo. When I asked Cheeney, he presented several answers: Dolph’s sporting guidance, the group of kids Kuss raced with growing up, and Durango’s chill mountain-town vibes. “Whatever it is, he can be a fierce competitor one moment and then just turn it off,” Cheeney says.

At the highest level, professional cycling imposes a rigid caste system. A handful of star athletes gobble up most of the victories and earn upwards of $1 million a year. Most riders earn somewhere between $50,000 and $150,000 annually and rarely get the opportunity to win.

Kuss blossomed into a position between the two—called super-domestique—an elevated title that gave him a leadership role at smaller races and a higher salary, but still left him squarely in the workhorse category for grand tours. He won stage 15 of the 2021 Tour de France—the first American victory at the race in a decade. But he downplayed his ambitions to compete for overall victory in three-week races.

Team leadership was even less likely for Kuss on the eve of the 2023 Vuelta a España. Jumbo-Visma had two of the best riders in the peloton: Roglic, a three-time Vuelta winner, and Vingegaard, the defending Tour de France champ. The only question was which man would prevail.

But the pecking order was upended on the sixth stage, which finished with a soaring climb in eastern Spain. Roglic and Vingegaard stayed in the peloton and shadowed the defending champion, Remco Evenepoel. Up ahead, Kuss attacked from the peloton and joined a 41-member breakaway, which pulled out a massive four-minute advantage on the mass of riders. Then Kuss pulled free on the final climb and won the stage, crossing the line 2:52 ahead of Vingegaard and Roglic.

Two days later, when Roglic won the stage, Kuss took over the red leader’s jersey with a 2:38 overall advantage. I assumed that he would lose the jersey during the stage ten individual time trial—an event he had struggled in. But he powered along the 16-mile course and lost less than a minute to Roglic and 11 seconds to Vingegaard.

“In most races I never had to push myself to the limit in a time trial,” Kuss says. “Being in the red jersey, there was no other option than to go to my limit physically and mentally, because for the first time in my career there was something to lose.”

Over the next week, the race tightened as Kuss, Vingegaard, and Roglic stepped into the first, second, and third positions overall. Behind them, the nearest competitor, Juan Ayuso of UAE Team Emirates, was more than a minute down. Three teammates dominating the podium at a grand tour was unprecedented in pro cycling’s 100-year history—and it caused problems.

“There was no textbook that we could open and say, ‘Oh, here’s how they did this in the past,’” Plugge told me. “We had to figure it out ourselves.”

On the race’s final rest day, the team met to discuss strategy. Riders and directors presented two options: they could ride in defense of Kuss, or let the three battle for the win. After a discussion, the team agreed that it was every rider for himself. “Of course I would rather have had the support of everyone from the get-go,” Kuss says. “I was also open to letting everyone do their race. You don’t want to win a grand tour and wonder if I raced with an advantage.”

The strategy created immediate tension. The next day, Vingegaard accelerated out of the peloton with two miles remaining and won the stage. Behind, Roglic bolted away from Kuss, who had to work with riders on other teams to catch up. His lead over Vingegaard shrank to just 29 seconds. It became obvious that the three Jumbo riders were tearing each other apart.

Image

Pro cycling has a long history of inter-squad rivalries, and Kuss’s situation unearthed memories of LeMond’s bitter fight with Bernhard Hinault at the 1986 Tour, Armstrong’s tensions with teammate Alberto Contador in 2009, and even the strained relationship between Chris Froome and his Team Sky leader, Bradley Wiggins, at the 2012 Tour. In all those situations, cameras caught the icy and sometimes hostile body language between the teammates. But any comparisons dissolved at the Vuelta when Kuss, after crossing the line on stage 16, rolled up to Vingegaard and gave him a big, sweaty hug. Kuss then praised him in the postrace press conference.

The rivalry peaked the next day, when stage 17 finished with a climb up the Alto de Angliru, a barren, shark-fin-shaped peak in northwestern Spain. As the peloton chugged to the summit, riders dropped from the front group until only the trio remained. Then Roglic attacked Kuss on the steepest ramp and opened a sizable gap. Vingegaard also left Kuss behind and rode up to Roglic. Together the two riders pedaled away, leaving Kuss alone in the fog. Eventually, he was joined by Spanish rider Mikel Landa of team Bahrain Victorious, placing him in an uncomfortable position—if he chased, he might drag Landa back to his teammates and jeopardize the stage win. But if he continued riding at Landa’s pace, he’d lose the red jersey to Vingegaard.

“I was like, This is ridiculous,” Kuss says. “My two teammates are ahead, and I’m behind this guy who’s our rival. My mind was still stuck in the role of a teammate—I’m not going to pull Landa closer to Jonas and Primoz. But my teammates are riding away from me.”

Roglic won the stage with Vingegaard on his wheel, and then the clock started ticking. The first three finishers received time bonuses of ten, six, and four seconds. Nineteen seconds later, Kuss rolled across the line in third place to grab the extra time. “If I had played it differently, I feel like I could have stayed with them,” Kuss says.

Whatever disappointment Kuss felt evaporated—maybe it was never there. As the cameras rolled, he pedaled to his teammates, embraced Roglic, then hugged Vingegaard. He grinned and laughed as he high-fived everyone. The race jury tabulated the time and added the bonuses: Kuss had retained the red jersey by all of eight seconds.

“There was no textbook that we could open and say, ‘Oh, here’s how they did this in the past.’ We had to figure it out ourselves.” —Visma–Lease a Bike general manager Richard Plugge

The dramatic finish, plus Kuss’s positive attitude, led to an immediate reaction from fans and media. On the NBC Sports broadcast, the commentators called Roglic and Vingegaard “cold-blooded killers.” Broadcaster Sean Kelly, winner of the 1988 Vuelta, blasted the two for being selfish during his analysis on the Global Cycling Network . “When you see Sepp Kuss, the way he’s been so loyal to those two riders over many years, winning big races for them, they didn’t show anything there, they just kept going,” he said.

On X, the hashtag #GCKuss began trending, and many messages were not kind to Vingegaard or Roglic. Angry replies mounted on the team’s social media handles after news of the result spread.

Jumbo-Visma management called a meeting that night. The next day was the final mountain stage of the Vuelta—the last opportunity for Roglic or Vingegaard to try and dethrone Kuss. The details of the discussion remain confidential, but Plugge told me that riders and managers agreed that the inter-squad battle had gone too far. “This was not us,” he said. “The Angliru result was not our culture.” After the meeting, the team decided to ride in support of Kuss for the final mountain stage. Four days later, he secured the overall win.

A month after the race, Merijn Zeeman, one of the team’s directors, spoke to the Dutch cycling podcast WielerFlits and admitted that one rider pushed back on the decision in the team meeting. “Seven riders unanimously agreed. Primoz Roglic had a more difficult time with this, but he conformed to the group,” Zeeman said. Roglic would leave Jumbo-Visma after the season. “I think it’s better for everybody that he’s on a different team,” Kuss told the Global Cycling Network after the news came out.

Roglic’s departure should create more opportunities for Kuss to win, and in July he’ll head back to the Tour de France to support Vingegaard before defending his Vuelta victory in September. Whether Kuss has the sole leadership role for this Vuelta or will colead with Vingegaard is a storyline that won’t become apparent until after the Tour.

Back in Durango, I cradle my empty coffee cup and watch the Kuss family recount the last days of the Vuelta. Sabina had flown from Italy to Spain to watch the race’s final three stages. Sepp replays the battle on the Angliru, using his hands to illustrate the tactical moves. I can’t help but wonder: What would have happened if he’d lambasted Roglic on television or berated management that evening? Would Sepp’s teammates have supported him in that fateful meeting if he was just another aggressive type A cyclist? After some prodding, Sepp admits that after each stage, late at night, he would allow himself to get disappointed, maybe even angry. But only for a moment or two. “Mostly I felt it was better to keep it to myself and with my wife—I didn’t want to make it a bigger issue than it was,” he says.

Dolph, watching his champion son, beams in approval. “We were so proud of him that he reacted that way.”

What to See on Île de la Cité and Île Saint Louis

T wo of the most truly Parisian feeling spots to enjoy on a trip to Paris include the two petite islands in the River Seine. Île de la Cité and Île St-Louis are steeped in history and include some wonderful sites and spots to take in and get acquainted with Paris. Whenever I am in Paris as a Paris travel advisor I always make efforts to walk both islands and enjoy the beautiful views and charm they offer. 

If you’re heading to Paris and looking to enjoy these islands, this post will be helpful to you as you plan your time.

In the 4th century, Île de la Cité was the site of the fortress of the Roman governor. In 508, Clovis I, the first King of the Franks, established his palace on the island. And in the 12th century, it became the home of Notre Dame cathedral and the royal chapel of Sainte-Chapelle which was built by King Louis IX, as well as the city’s first hospital, the Hôtel-Dieu. 

Île Saint-Louis is connected to the rest of Paris – including Île de la Cité –  by four bridges to both the Right Bank and the Left Bank of the Seine. In fact, the island did not take the name of Saint-Louis until 1725. It is named for Louis IX, who was made a saint thirty years after his death in 1270. History believes he sometimes held court and rendered justice on the island. 

Read on for what to be sure not to miss on both islands in Paris.

Of course the most iconic item on the islands in Paris is the cathedral of Notre Dame. Following the 2019 fire, Notre Dame Cathedral remains closed but you can walk around the streets around the perimeter of the church. And you can also take in the view of the church from the front of Notre Dame.

Pont Neuf is the city’s oldest surviving bridge. It connects the left and right banks of the Seine by passing over the Île de la Cité and it offers beautiful views of the Seine, the island’s homes along the riverbanks and Eiffel Tower views from the Western side.

Place Dauphine

Place Dauphine is a delightfully tucked away public square located near the western end of the Île de la Cité. It was initiated by Henry IV in the 17th century. He also named it for his son, the Dauphin of France and future Louis XIII, who had been born in 1601. It is home to a few cafés and some lovely benches to rest and people watch. You may even get to enjoy watching a friendly game of petanque while there as well!

In the Springtime the trees bloom in magnificent pink.

Pont Saint Louis

If you’re lucky, you may just enjoy some live music from talented musicians who often set up performances on this pedestrian bridge. This bridge also offers 360 degree beautiful views.

Conciergerie

The Conciergerie is a former courthouse and prison located on the west of the Île de la Cité just below the Palais de Justice. It was originally part of the former royal palace, the Palais de la Cité. In fact, it was the site of Marie Antoinette’s imprisonment and where over 2,700 people were executed by guillotine during the French Revolution.

Sainte Chapelle

One of the most popular places with tourists to visit, Sainte Chapelle is a royal chapel constructed in the Gothic style. Construction began sometime after 1238 and the chapel was consecrated in 1248. It was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion relics, including Christ’s Crown of Thorns – one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom. 

Although it was damaged during the French Revolution, the chapel was restored in the 19th century. It is famous for having one of the most extensive 13th-century stained glass collections anywhere in the world. It is absolutely lovely to see and I recommend you book a ticket in advance.

Berthillion

The famed ice cream spot is in fact worth a visit. I’ve been getting the Framboise and Chocolat flavors since I was a little girl. You’ll find a line in summer but it generally moves quickly. They have a tea shop if you’d prefer to dine in to enjoy your ice cream. 

You’ll also find the ice cream available at other spots on the island. But I prefer to grab my scoops from the original shop on Rue Saint-Louis en l’Île.

La Brasserie de l’Isle Saint-Louis

This spot has friendly service and is situated on an iconic and photogenic corner on Isle Saint Louis. It is a go-to spot of mine for an afternoon glass of wine. The tables outside offer ideal people watching views. I’ve not eaten here so cannot speak to the food.

Rue Saint-Louis en l’Île

This is the main street that cuts down the middle of the Île Saint Louis. It is lined with shops and little cafés worth exploring. Pick up coffee at NOIR if you’re in need of caffeine.

The Seine River Banks

You can head down stairwells at certain points on the Île   St – Louis and set up with a picnic or a bottle of wine to enjoy watching the boats go by. You’ll be living life like a Parisian in doing so and it is one of the nicest ways to enjoy an afternoon in Paris. 

Hôtel Lambert

The Hôtel Lambert is a hôtel particulier on the Quai Anjou on the eastern tip of the Île Saint-Louis. It was previously open to tour however following its sale in 2022 it has not reopened to the public. But I am hopeful to one day see inside it! 

Have you visited Île de la Cité and Île Saint Louis? I’d love to hear what you enjoyed in the Comments below!

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Jessica Biel was busy spending time with her family and working before husband Justin Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons.

The “Cry Me a River” singer, 43, was pulled over in Sag Harbor and taken into custody on Monday night, and was cited for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane. He appeared in court Tuesday and was released without bail.

Per Page Six , Timberlake was “with a bunch of friends” at the American Hotel on Main Street before he drove off around 12:30 a.m. Officers performed a field sobriety test on him, but he refused their request to take a breathalyzer test.

“His friends were telling the police, ‘Let him go, let him go,’” an insider told the outlet. The cop who pulled Timberlake over was also reportedly “so young that he didn’t even know” who the star was.

The source added: “He didn’t recognize him or his name.”

The day before, Biel, 42, celebrated her husband of 12 years with a sweet Father’s Day post on Instagram.

The “7th Heaven” actress shared rare photos of Timberlake with their sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3. In the first photo, Phineas climbed on his dad’s back as Timberlake was crouched over.

Biel also included a photo of Timberlake kissing her on the cheek in a selfie.

“You’re so many things to so many people. But to us you are THE ROCK,” Biel wrote. “The rock we climb on, we lean against. The rock that shades us from the sun. And when we recline on you, as we always do, hopefully our butts will keep you eternally grounded and warm.”

“We LOVE YOU 🪨❤️,” she added.

The day of Timberlake’s DWI arrest, Biel was spotted filming the upcoming Prime Video thriller series “The Better Sister” in Central Park in New York City.

The mom of two wore medieval clothing, including a short-sleeved white top with a blue bodice and a long skirt. She had braids on the side of her long brunette hair.

Biel was joined by her co-stars Corey Stoll and Elizabeth Banks, who were also dressed in medieval clothing.

The series, which began filming in NYC earlier this month, is based on Alafair Burke’s 2019 novel about two estranged sisters who are forced together after one of their husbands is murdered.

Hours after Biel filmed her scenes for the show, her husband was pulled over in Sag Harbor.

Timberlake is facing DWI-related charges, a Sag Harbor Justice Court official confirmed to Newsday .

When he left the American Hotel, Timberlake allegedly almost immediately blew a stop sign and was swerving, according to TMZ.

Police pulled him over and gave him a field sobriety test, which he allegedly failed when he was asked to do a one-legged stand, walk and turn.

Sources told TMZ that Timberlake appeared glassy-eyed and smelled of alcohol, but he refused to take a breathalyzer test.

His friends showed up and tried to convince the officers to let him off, but TImberlake was cuffed and taken into custody.

Court documents indicate that his next court appearance will be July 26.

Timberlake has been on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour since April, and he has shows scheduled in Chicago this Friday and Saturday.

He also has shows booked in Madison Square Garden on June 25 and June 26.

Rolling Stones in CLE: If this is ‘The Last Time’ no one could ask for anything more (photos)

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Rolling Stones: “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” CLE?

CLE Fans: “Start Me Up,” Stones!

“This could be the last time,” sings Mick Jagger in the 1965 Rolling Stones classic, “The Last Time.” If Saturday’s festivities surrounding the band’s “Hackney Diamonds” tour stop at Cleveland Browns Stadium was any indication, it’s a day that will live in infamy.

If you’re from around here, you’re more than used to Mother Nature saying, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” But on what promised to be the nicest day of the entire summer to date, fans of the legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Famers thought they just might find they’d get what they need.

“It’s an absolutely perfect day,” said Tony Harris, a longtime Stones fan from Berea who was parked on a camp chair in The Pit on the East Bank of the Flats. “Couldn’t be better.”

He was right. With nary a cloud in the blue skies above, Cleveland’s streets were buzzing with anticipation in the afternoon hours before the big gig. Even with high ticket and merch prices, there was nary an unhappy face in site.

Fans pre-gamed for an electrifying night slowly filled the Rock Hall’s plaza and the surrounding parking lots, turning them into festive tailgating hubs. With vintage Glimmer Twins tunes (and all manner of other summer smells) wafting on the air in North Coast Harbor, the feeling was decidedly upbeat.

“This will be my fourth show,” said Melinda Coffin of Mount Pleasant, Michigan, who was sunning herself with two friends on the Union Home Mortgage Plaza at the Rock Hall. “We all came from central Michigan to check the show out. We love the Stones and you just never know if they’ll tour again!”

Coffin notes that both Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards are 80 years old and still seemingly going strong. Ron Wood, who has been a fixture in the Stones since 1975, turned 75 recently. She and her friends think the time is growing short.

“[Keith] doesn’t drink, smoke or do blow anymore!” exclaimed one fan who called himself “Ghoulardi” and was lined up at the merch trailer on the southeast side of Browns Stadium. “That’s how he kept going! Who knows how he’s doing it now?”

“This is my first but I hope it’s not my last,” said a more measured Melanie Scott of Grand Rapids, Michigan. “I’ll be glad to hear all the hits and check them off of my bucket list.”

Indeed the concert – which marks the band’s first performance in Cleveland since 2002 – drew fans from far and wide. Fans from as far away as New York, Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Missouri, Iowa and Washington DC made the trek, calling the show a “bucket list” item.

Intergenerational crowds and families were a huge component of the afternoon.

Folks who traveled from southern Ontario were a big part of the milieu as well.

Keith Michael Rider, named for both Mick and Keith by his superfan father Bob, decided to make the trek to Cleveland from Williamsburg, Virginia. He grabbed good ol’ Dad from West Virginia as a Father’s Day present along the way. The father-son duo were staying in town and lingering on the Rock Hall Plaza.

Rolling Stones pre concert fan photos

“[Their longevity] comes down to that massive songbook,” said the elder Rider, who saw the Rolling Stones for the first time at the Baltimore Civic Center in 1969 with B.B. King as an opener.

“They’ve been creating great music ever since they started,” he added. They’ll keep going until they can’t because they’re the Stones!”

Both father and son have been enjoying the band’s new “Hackney Diamonds” album, but like most who were gathering wanted one more chance to hear their favorite songs live.

To wit, fans young and old seemingly agreed that this could be ‘The Last Time.” With fans ranging from 8 to 88 years old gathering up, you were left with that sense – even if you didn’t remember that MTV and Budweiser sponsored the “Steel Wheels” tour in 1989.

This “Hackney Diamonds 2024″ tour? AARP.

At the merch trailer on the southeast side of the stadium, folks were beating the lines for $50 kids’ shirts, tour programs at $60 and a stylized “24-carat Stones” leather-sleeved bomber jacket for a cool five- hundie . Keychains at $10 also seemed to be a popular item.

Downtown traffic was more than a bit snarly on this gorgeous day, with parking oil tycoon-pricey. With other events, including the city’s Juneteenth celebration on Mall C running from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., there was no sign of that bustle alleviating. Downtown just kept getting busier, folks happier.

But talking to fans like Brian Luther and his family – wife Beth, son Sam and daughter Emily – it’s only rock and roll… but (you guessed it) they like it.

“We can’t wait,” said Brian, who brought the family into town from Hubbard, Ohio near Youngstown to be here. “These guys are living legends and while I’m a purist and love me some Mick Taylor, Brian Jones and Bill Wyman, we are all incredibly fortunate as fans of the Stones to get a shot at them.”

He motioned to the tailgate around him. “And, it’s not like the Browns. You just can’t lose with this.”

Gil and Zoe LaChapelle from Burlington, Ontario, who sat nearby in the Burke/Coast Guard lot east of the Rock Hall, wholeheartedly agreed.

“This could be ‘The Last Time,’” said Gil. “But hey, look around. It’s a lot of people’s first time and judging from the day, this could be the best time. Whatever they play or don’t play, everybody wins. Nobody loses. We all win today.”

The Stones played to a mostly full house at Browns Stadium, kicking off the proceedings around 9 p.m., fittingly some might say with their 1981 hit, “Start Me Up.” The core trio of Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards and guitarist Ron Wood is backed by a touring band that includes longtime keyboardist Chuck Leavell, backing vocalist Bernad Fowler, keyboard player Matt Clifford, and bassist Darryl Jones along with newcomers drummer Steve Jordan, saxophonist Tim Ries, saxophonist Karl Denson and backing vocalist Chanele Haynes. Jagger looked healthy and fit, and moved, like, well Jagger. And the rest of the core band looked and sounded good, too, particularly for dudes of of their age on a tour sponsored by AARP.
